Halloween is OVER

This was my lone contribution to Halloween. Cute though right?


It's a beautiful day here in Colorado. 60 something and sunny! I wish it wasn't so dark when I get off work. It makes it hard to want to do anything afterward.

I heard from my cousin earlier today and she's having a girl! Congratulations Jennell. <3 I told her "Little girls are the best as we know".

4 days until the wedding and only 2 days until the rehearsal. Eep! I need to get some laundry done.

Snow Days!

You might have heard that Colorado got a lot of snow this week. I've been home the past few days because I've been sick. It was great not to have to go out in that mess. Earlier today a friend text messaged me that she was getting pelted by snow balls falling from the trees. I laughed and knew I had to take a picture of the icicle that was hanging off the awing in the backyard to show her. That thing would've fallen down on me the minute I walked by! I broke it off after I took the picture. :-P



At some point it had stopped snowing for a while and I got a knock on my door. It was a lady asking if I wanted the sidewalk shoveled. Well, I certainly had no desire to go out there so I agreed. This is the sidewalk after they scooped it.




This is all I have the energy to write. Hope you all are having a good evening.

I don't know what else to say...

My Dad died on September 7, 2009. Life isn't fair. My mom told me I have always been concerned with justice and what is fair. Our hearts ache with grief and sometimes we just don't know how to go on other than waking up each morning on autopilot. I don't like when people ask how I'm doing. How do you think I'm doing?! I'm surviving. What else is there right now?

new wheels

guess what internets! i got a new car. not just a newtome car but brand spanking new from the factory new car. i've been feeling anxious about it or maybe life in general. i needed reliable/safer transportation especially since my mechanic aka my pop has been in the hospital for what seems like forever and half. my mom came to denver friday evening so we could look at cars. by 11pm we were very tired and hungry but the deals were made, papers were signed and i was driving home in my new car.

A birthday letter to my father

Dear Dad,

I thought instead of a goofy card this year I'd write a letter to you about some of the things I am thankful for, admire, and love about you.

I am thankful that you love me! :-)
That you love (or at least like) my friends and treat them as family.
I am thankful that you take care of my car.
I love that you're such a weirdo!
That you don't know any strangers just friends you haven't made- even though this is embarrassing sometimes.
You will stay up late chatting with me.
You like a lot of the same music as I do.
I am thankful and love that you take care of the people you love.
I love that you love bow ties!
You are always excited to see me and Buster. :-)
You don't stay mad at me very long.
You are passionate about things that are important to you.
You don't complain about many things- even when you have good reason.
You let me choose the radio station in the car.
The word "no" isn't usually in your vocabulary.
You don't mind being the passenger.
Even if I'm bleeding you'll clean me up!

These are just a few things and from just one person who loves you. I hope you know you are loved and appreciated.

Love, Sarah Joy

Busy Busy Busy

I've been busy and unmotivated to make any blog post! I have things to post about. Mainly related to my Aunt JoAnn getting married. My Mom and I hosted an Afternoon Tea for her and friends and family and then the wedding was the following week. Also, today is my Dad's birthday.

Happy Birthday Old Man! I love you.
